My recent months have been a complete torture for my skin. Taking several flights weekly, changing climate zones, constant jet lag, lack of time to take care of myself properly led to sagging skin and fine lines.  I used several organic plants based creams, but I had a feeling that it was a perfect time to try something more efficient. 

 

 

It’s been 10 years since Swissline launched Age Intelligence, a new genre of skincare focusing on youth-inducing, rather than anti-aging. Its innovative approach stems from the fact that the line was never meant to fight this or that, or be anti this or anti that, its sole purpose has always been to enhance the mechanisms of cutaneous self-repair… in other words, boost the skin’s own self-recovery potential.

 

I needed something plumping, hydrating and energizing. I needed new Swissline’s boosters: SOURCE BOOSTER, RADIANCE BOOSTER, EYE ZONE BOOSTER and YOUTH BOOSTER. Let me go through all of them, and in details explain the magic.

 

SOURCE BOOSTER

While hyaluronic acid can attract up to 1,000 times its weight in water, its molecular size determines the depth it is delivered into the skin. This formula combines a high 1.5% concentration of different molecular weight hyaluronic forms, including Hyalusphere – a patented vectorised encapsulated form of HA, for multi-depth hydration and plumpness.

 

 

Natural Moisturizing Factor  refers to the elements naturally present in the skin which keep the outer layers protected and well-hydrated; it is made up of various amino acids, fatty acids, triglycerides, urea, ceramides, phospholipids, sodium PCA and many other compounds.

 

The booster contains a “cocktail” of Natural Moisturizing Factor  components: sodium PCA, sodium lactate, arginine, aspartic acid, PCA, glycine, alanine, serine, valine, proline, threonine, isoleucine, histidine, and phenylalanine. Together, they boost healthy levels of NMF & help to repair the barrier function.

Source Booster can be applied am and/or pm as needed, mixed in the palm of the hand with the Recovery Serum  for maximum results, or directly in your usual cream for a boost. 2-3 drops are enough, more can be used if needed. Due to its immediate skin conditioning effect, it can also be mixed-in any fluid or cream make-up, CC cream or make-up primer for additional plumping benefits.

 

 

RADIANCE BOOSTER

A flash of positive energy and freshness, this booster will envelop the skin in the goodness of Vitamin C, toning the skin, reversing photo aging and making the complexion look younger and more vibrant.

 

 

Obtained from the combination of pure L-ascorbic acid and ascorbyl sodium phosphate, Stay-C 50 is a more stable form of vitamin C. This innovative version, registered as a quasi-drug in Japan, has been clinically shown to reverse the signs of aging and brighten the skin. It is used  in a record 10% concentration.

 

EYE ZONE BOOSTER

A surge of refreshing delight for frequent travelers and irregular sleepers with tired eyes. The 2% targeted caffeine significantly increases drainage around the eye area while detoxing the delicate skin for a fresh-looking, rested look. Plant-based ceramides facilitate better skin cohesion and help to reduce fine lines, either due to dryness or lack of rest.

 Caffeine helps detoxify the tissues, thereby reducing local fat deposits and puffiness. As it penetrates deep into skin, it has a constricting effect over the capillaries, improving the look of congested and blotchy skin. Widely used in anti-cellulite products; caffeine improves drainage of toxins.

Obtained from purified wheat lipids, Ceramides are naturally present in the membranes of all epidermal cell structures, contributing to the formation of the intercellular binding cement.

With a strong moisturizing action, as well as anti-elastase and anti-collagenase properties, these plant ceramides help restore and strengthen the intercellular barrier function of the skin as they smooth the texture of the cutaneous superficial layer.

YOUTH BOOSTER

The all-time star ingredient against wrinkles and discoloration formulation combines different forms of next-generation retinoids…not only pure retinol. It is commonly agreed that regular use of a lower concentration of pure retinol delivers better results than a higher concentration over a short period of time, as anything higher than 0.5% simply tends to trigger too much irritation and/or skin reactivity to other active ingredients.

This formula with encapsulated retinol cannot be compared with a basic retinol formula as it incorporates different retinoid molecules that enhance the effects of the encapsulated retinol and the skin’s tolerance to it. The pure retinol level used in the formula is 0.4%. 

This Youth Booster resurfaces and smooths skin texture, reduces pore size and fine lines, reverses signs of photo-aging at a superficial level with a soft peeling. The use of a high SPF during the day is imperative.

 

I have been using these four products for over a month now, and noticed surprising skin-brightening results from the first week of using the boosters, my skin became really soft, my pores appeared smaller. As I spend almost 6 months a year in tropics and often forget to use my SPF, I noticed a small pigment spot on my forehead 3 month ago. I am not sure which product caused the magic, but after using the boosters the spot has almost disappeared. I will definitely continue using Swissline. We will try to organise an interview with Christophe Lesueur, CEO Swissline, in the nearest future. So stay tuned.
